Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 410

The Thief of the Demon God’s Vault – 414

Chapter 414

Eight tentacles shot out towards Se-un simultaneously.

However, these were different from the tentacles he had faced so far.

It started with the ends of the tentacles wriggling and mimicking the appearance of Durendal. Other tentacles also took the form of various weapons and attacked Se-un.

A spear made of Outer material shot towards his abdomen, and a mace crashed down from above.

Dart-like objects sliced through the air from all directions, and a heavy hammer pressed down from behind.

“Ah, I don’t really need an explanation. I know roughly what’s going on.”

Flash!

Se-un’s body disappeared in a burst of light from the center of the weapons firing from all directions.

It was the right choice to use ‘Brutgang,’ which allowed both attack and evasion, just in case.

Of course, that didn’t mean he could launch a counterattack.

The moment he moved behind the man, the robe fluttered, and another Outer blocked his path.

“Name, Jeong Se-un. Contractor of the Demon God. Presumed to have regressed using Mammon’s treasure… Past actions unknown. One of the individuals to watch out for in this cycle. However.”

However, he couldn’t just keep dodging because the Outer was blocking his way.

Se-un skillfully combined the power of Brutgang with his martial arts and charged towards the man.

Deflecting weak attacks and dodging strong ones. Evading dangerous attacks that were impossible to avoid using Brutgang’s movement ability.

Then, in an instant, he reached the man’s back and swung Durendal.

– Inner energy enhances the Blood Wolf Sword Technique’s third form, Blood Wolf Assault.

He swung with all his might, thinking he had cleared all the Outer.

But…

“I was prioritizing the wrong thing.”

Clench!

The robe the man was wearing fluttered and caught Se-un’s sword.

That wasn’t just a robe to cover his body. The robe itself was Outer.

No, perhaps not just the coat he was wearing, but most of his body was Outer.

And considering he called himself the ‘Despot King’…

‘Could it be that he’s not just corrupted, but Outer itself?’

The thought even crossed his mind.

It was impossible for Outer to have that level of intelligence, and it was also impossible for it to maintain a proper form without a host, but he was becoming increasingly convinced.

That’s why he had to defeat that man right here and now.

– The sword that splits rocks, Durendal, unleashes the aura of the rainbow on ‘Brutgang.’

– The guidance of light is recreated through ‘Brutgang.’

Durendal, which had been tightly bound by the man’s robe, shone with seven colors.

The light contained in Brutgang was no ordinary light.

It contained the power of Bifrost, the rainbow bridge guarded by Heimdall, said to be the only passage connecting Midgard and Asgard [In Norse mythology, Bifrost is the rainbow bridge connecting the mortal realm (Midgard) and the realm of the gods (Asgard). Heimdall is the watchman of the gods].

That power was not bound by physical limitations.

Swoosh-

The blade curved like light hitting a prism and escaped the man’s robe.

“Ruin.”

– Grrr!

Ruin, who had been wary of the man’s Outer on the opposite side, was absorbed into Se-un’s sword.

Now, he could understand the meaning with just a look, without needing to give clear commands.

“Rather than the daughter of Chronos [In Greek mythology, Chronos is the personification of time. His daughter’s identity would depend on the specific myth being referenced, but it often involves figures associated with fate or prophecy], whom I originally considered the most dangerous element…”

The Outer that additionally emerged from the man’s body blocked Durendal’s path.

However, none of them completely blocked Durendal.

The Outer, spread out wide like a shield, was penetrated and curved, and even when transformed into a sword to obstruct the path, it couldn’t keep up with Durendal’s curvature.

And so, eventually…

Thud!

The tip of Durendal pierced the center of the man’s back.

The man, looking down at the sword tip protruding from his chest, indifferently turned his head and continued speaking.

“You were the most significant threat.”

The man looked so unharmed despite having his chest pierced that it seemed grotesque.

However, Se-un’s attack did not stop.

– The Holy Mark reacts to the tale of the Blood Wolf Legend.

– The third ability of the Holy Mark, ‘Annihilation,’ awakens.

The power of Annihilation was indeed the natural enemy of Outer.

Moreover, Ruin was dwelling in Se-un’s sword right now, so its power was more than double its usual strength.

As Durendal turned crimson, receiving the light of the Holy Mark, the man’s chest sizzled and emitted black smoke as if it were burning.

“Indeed, this is the feeling. No wonder they were so afraid.”

Just as Se-un was about to capitalize on this momentum and move his sword.

Gurgle!

A full-scale transformation began to occur in the man’s body.

The first thing that changed was his face.

The cruelly distorted skin bulged and spewed out black liquid like pus bursting.

Of course, all of it was Outer.

Outer that the power of Annihilation dwelling in Durendal couldn’t handle poured out like a waterfall.

“It would be nice if I could eliminate it at this opportunity… but I should at least prepare for ‘learning.'”

Se-un quickly retrieved his sword and took out his staff from the All-Purpose Pouch.

The mana core of the ‘Growing Hatchling’ he received from the Coral Tower Lord shone, and Ruin quickly moved into it.

‘Breath.’

Kwahhhh-!!

Dragon Breath, one of the Growing Hatchling’s abilities.

Se-un exhausted all the mana he had been accumulating in the staff’s mana core, unleashing a dragon’s breath.

Since Ruin had merged and the Holy Mark was shining, the power of Annihilation was contained in this entire attack.

“Learning… impossible. It’s too scared and runs away before it can even learn properly. I’d like to take a sample, but is that also difficult?”

The dragon’s breath was powerful.

The interior of the sealed meteorite heated up intensely, and the Outer that came into contact with the breath burned quickly like a lit newspaper.

Yet, the amount of Outer didn’t seem to decrease.

The Outer spewing out from the man’s body poured out endlessly, as if connected to the sea.

‘I have to… push harder!’

Even though his body was burning like that, the amount of Outer not only didn’t decrease but actually increased.

Soon, the increased Outer wriggled and began to form a shape.

He didn’t know what it was. But he knew that the moment it was completed, Se-un’s chances of winning against the man would be extremely low.

At that moment.

Thud!

“What took you so long… !”

The ceiling hatch opened.

Judging by the guild members sticking their heads out, centered around Kang Han-cheol, it seemed they couldn’t contain their curiosity.

He didn’t want to inconvenience the guild members if he could help it, but now was not the time. He had to defeat this man now, even with everyone’s help.

“Kang Han-cheol!”

“Got it.”

– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Crush.’

As expected, Kang Han-cheol.

Without asking or hesitating, he immediately jumped down and threw a punch.

Even if it was a normal attack, his fist was equipped with thick gauntlets made of meteorite.

Thanks to that.

Crack!

“Ggrrrruuuuuk-!”

The crown of the Outer, which had been swelling up, was wrinkled, and the shockwave spread throughout its body.

And this was just the beginning.

“Se-un!”

Swish, swish, swish!

Following behind, Yoo Seo-ah, wearing Baal’s Crown, swept through the Outer’s entire body like the wind.

Her twin swords were also weapons made by Ko Chang-seok by processing meteorites, so the wounds engraved on the Outer’s entire body did not heal and spewed black liquid.

“I’ll go too!”

“Hyungnim!” [Korean term for older brother or respected male figure]

In addition, all the Diablo guild members began to jump down one by one through the small holes on the meteorite’s surface.

Choi Su-chang threw a harpoon made of meteorite, and Kim Mi-jeong shot arrows with meteorite tips.

Park Jeong-pil didn’t come in directly and was throwing grenade-like objects from above. It seemed he had put meteorite fragments inside, as the Outer flinched greatly every time it exploded.

They were all suppressing the Outer excellently using their individual strengths.

And the grand finale.

“Bite them.”

“Ggrrr…”

“Ggrrrrrr…”

The undead that Baek-hyun had made by embedding meteorites poured down in droves.

They clung to the Outer’s body as they fell and swung their claws without regard for their own bodies.

Upon closer inspection, even their claws were made of meteorite, so they weren’t corrupted even when sticking directly to it.

With the addition of the guild members’ support, the man’s swelling body began to stagnate.

“So you can utilize meteorites to this extent. Impressive. Well, I suppose it’s only natural. Just as they learn, so do you develop.”

The man’s voice, from which even his face was no longer visible, echoed within the meteorite.

The Outer, which had been resisting all sorts of attacks while squelching, stopped for a moment and hardened like a rock.

“I wanted to make it learn a little more, but it seems I’ll have to bring the plan forward.”

“All-out attack!”

Se-un could guess from the man’s words.

That he was about to leave this place.

He couldn’t let him go like this, so Se-un raised his voice and drew Durendal anew.

The guild members nodded at Se-un’s shout and all used their trump cards.

– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Endgame.’

– Player Lee Ha-neul uses ‘Dead Ward.’

– Player Kim Mi-jeong uses ‘Black Star Banquet.’

…

Even though Se-un had turned off the light magic, the inside of the meteorite shone as if it would explode due to the onslaught of various attacks.

The various sound effects intertwined and rang in his eardrums.

The Outer, which had been hardened, shattered like a glass window, and black fragments scattered in all directions.

Taking advantage of the gap, Se-un ran forward.

– Inner energy enhances the third form of the Crushing Rock Sword, Sky Hole.

– The power of the martial art is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Crushing Heart Skill.

The third form of the Crushing Rock Sword, Sky Hole, which had been used to break the surface of the meteorite. However, what he was using now was slightly different from then.

When breaking the surface of the meteorite, he used a modified version by applying the original form, but this time, it was the orthodox Crushing Rock Sword.

He repeatedly recited the meaning contained in the form of Sky Hole in his mind and raised Durendal upwards.

The inner energy that started from the dantian [A concept in traditional Chinese medicine referring to a center of energy located in the lower abdomen] and violently swept through his entire body instantly passed through the Holy Mark on his right hand and concentrated on the tip of Durendal.

Crash!!

The black light that escaped from the tip of Durendal pierced the center of the Outer and, as if not satisfied with this, soared upwards through the hole in the ceiling.

The gloomy clouds unique to Death Hill were pierced, creating a huge hole.

Perhaps he had missed the timing to escape due to the aftermath of that attack, the man, whose upper body had returned to its original state, was frowning.

However, Se-un was in a state where follow-up attacks were difficult due to the aftermath of the previous attack.

At that time, an unexpected person fell from the hole in the ceiling, fluttering a red dress.

“Ruin, would you bite this for me?”

“Ruin!”

– Grrr!

Se-un, confirming that Arcana was throwing a scythe, immediately slammed Durendal into the ground.

Ruin, who had been bounced off by the recoil, quickly jumped out and bit the scythe Arcana had thrown.

At the same time, the scythe Ruin bit lost its color and turned black and white, and conversely, the black and white scythe Arcana held regained its color.

“Link.”

The technique she had shown in the casino warehouse.

She swung the power of gravity as it was towards the man who had not yet returned his entire body to its original state.

Slice!

A long diagonal wound appeared on the man’s chest.

Instead of red blood, black liquid gushed out from the wound like a waterfall.

He hadn’t been able to inflict proper damage even when he pierced his chest with Durendal.

Perhaps it was thanks to exploiting the weakness at the weakest timing, he succeeded in landing a surprisingly excellent blow.

“What is this again? Seriously, when you get involved, it’s a series of difficult situations to understand. But not now.”

The Outer that had been spewing out from the man’s chest spread out wide and embraced the man’s body in a circle.

“Let’s meet again next time. You, who defy fate.”

Poof!
